Third Time's a Charm at Irvine's Must-Try Cuban Spot: Habana 🇨🇺

It's my third time dining at Habana, this vibrant Cuban restaurant! 🥳🇨🇺 I've always loved Cuba's warm, joyful, and colorful atmosphere ✨, and since I've learned a bit of Spanish, I could actually understand many dishes on the menu—felt like a small achievement, haha 😆 This time we ordered two appetizers: 🥥 Ceviche Tropical – Made with Spanish octopus, Argentine shrimp, mixed veggies, and coconut cream. Tangy with a hint of coconut—super unique and refreshing! 🥓 Croquetas de Jamon – Little ham and cheese croquettes. They tasted a bit like takoyaki, but the ham flavor was kinda overpowered by the cheese. Just okay—not my top recommendation~ For the main course, we had the 🥩 New York Steak (medium rare) – so tender! Juicy with every slice, and the Mac & Cheese on the side was absolutely mind-blowing 🤤. Honestly the best version I’ve ever had—could totally order it as a main dish! ✨ Final thoughts: The overall vibe is full of Latin American energy 🎶🍹—the music, colors, and food all make you feel happy and alive. If you love lively, colorful Cuban culture or want to try something different from the usual Latin cuisine, this is the place to go! 💃🌴 Have you been to Habana or tried Cuban food before?
